Steel rods are round or rectangular bars, square bars, hexagons, and other patterns of steel products. They are made by cutting long steel strips into segments. HXH Steel specializes in manufacturing various types of steel rods and offers them at competitive prices.
Steel rods are typically cylindrical and long, while steel bars can come in various shapes such as flat, square, or rectangular, offering more versatility.
Steel rods are often used in construction for reinforcement and structural support. Steel bars, due to their varied shapes, are used in manufacturing, construction, and decorative applications.
Steel rods are usually produced through hot rolling or cold drawing processes. Steel bars can be manufactured through hot rolling, cold drawing, or extrusion, depending on the desired shape and application.
Steel rods, also known as rebar, are embedded in concrete to enhance its tensile strength. Concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension, meaning it can easily crack under tensile forces. By adding steel rods, which have high tensile strength, the composite material can better withstand various stresses and loads. This combination, known as reinforced concrete, ensures structures like buildings, bridges, and roads are more durable and resilient. The steel and concrete work together to absorb and distribute loads, preventing cracks and structural failures, thereby extending the lifespan and safety of the construction.
